Image
Technological advancement and space advancement and speed in the current world makes the requirement of good and effective QA & Software Testing potential more significant than before. Software testing brings confirmation that developed or modified application is working satisfactorily, meets user requirements and maintains adequate level of security. Current changes in technology and market factors bring deep shifts within the industry and its further development. Current trends and innovations in software testing practice are redesigning conventional ways of implementing the quality assurance process. To this end, in the following article we explore these developments to ascertain the future prospects of the industry. Key Trends Shaping the Future of QA and Software Testing 1. The Rise of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in Testing QA & Software Testing is becoming more innovative due to the discovery and implementation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine...

Best Tools for Automated Software Testing

Image
  Currently, in the context of rapid development of new software, speed is one of the critical success factors along with quality. With the help of automated software testing, approaches to increase quality and productivity of applications have emerged. Compared with manual testing, the automated testing applies the varieties of testing tools which can decrease or reduce much time and possibilities of making mistakes. These tools do more than just increase the speed of testing cycles: their ability to refine the work and achieve greater coverage makes them a must-have in modern approaches to software testing. This article mainly explores some of the effective tools for automated software testing with information about how each tool can help in enhancing the effectiveness of QA. 1. Selenium Selenium is one of the loved tools for functional test automation, especially in the context of web apps. It works with multiple programming languages, including Java, Python, C#, which keep it r...

Why Is Shift-Left Testing Gaining Popularity in Agile Development?

Image
  In the Agile world where development activities are released often and multiple rounds of development are accomplished in a limited timeframe, the quality of software cannot be an add-on. Earlier, software testing techniques that were practiced were a phase-based testing cycle and were proven costly and inadequate for Agile due to its continuous integration and delivery systems. This has created shift-left testing culture that seeks to ensure that testing is done beginning from the early stages of development. Application of shift-left testing practices is common in Agile setting given that it holds that early testing is critical to the achievement of efficiency, low cost, and integrated effort. It has become popular with Agile teams and QA & software testing professionals as a way towards responding to time-to-market considerations for today’s development iterations. Can we, therefore, look at shift left testing in detail on why it is used and how it integrates with the Agi...
